Chapter 41: Whether You Believe It or Not
"I won't push you, go in yourself."
But the Female dawdled, refusing to move forward.
The Patriarch was still waiting in the courtyard, so the Male beastman had no choice but to grab her wrist and pull her into the yard by force.
As soon as that exquisite Female saw the courtyard full of Males, she began to tremble with fear.
Crystal-clear tears welled up and fell, turning into round, translucent colored pearls as they hit the ground, reflecting a dreamlike luster in the sunlight.
"Why are you Land Beastmen... all so fierce and evil..." she sobbed, her voice filled with grievance.
The entire courtyard fell into an eerie silence.
After crying for a while, she realized that no one seemed to want to harm her.
Gradually, the sobbing subsided, eventually turning into a few light whimpers.
She lifted her tear-blurred face and timidly scanned the Males in the courtyard.
When her gaze landed on the merman standing beside Bai Wanwan, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her lips parted slightly...
Jiao Yin's gaze darkened. Though his innate majestic aura was only revealed for an instant, it was keenly sensed by the Female who knew him well.
She immediately fell silent and lowered her head, not even daring to breathe loudly.
All of this happened in a very short time. By the time the Males like Zhu Xiu and Qiu Rong noticed something was wrong and turned to look at Jiao Yin...
His expression was as usual, showing no change.
"These merfolk are enough. Now we can use a Secret Technique to show you the beautiful scenery of our hometown," Jiao Yin said, turning to Bai Wanwan.
Bai Wanwan's gaze lingered on him for a moment before she raised her hand, signaling him to begin the demonstration.
Jiao Yin walked slowly toward several of his kin, conversing in a low voice using a strange language that only merfolk could understand.
Before long, a flowing Water Curtain suddenly appeared above the courtyard.
Within the Water Curtain, the wonders of the ocean slowly unfolded: a pod of bottlenose dolphins were chasing and playing, their sleek bodies breaking through the waves as water droplets refracted into a seven-colored halo in the sunlight.
The most active little dolphin performed three consecutive somersaults, the splashing water shimmering with countless tiny rainbows.
The scene shifted as a whale shark emerged from the deep sea, the fluorescent spots scattered across its gray-blue back looking like constellations in the night sky.
When it opened its massive mouth, hundreds of rows of fine teeth gleamed with a mother-of-pearl luster, and swarms of krill formed a golden vortex at its throat...
This lifelike scene was a visual feast for these Land Beastmen who had never set foot in the ocean.
"So... the ocean is like this..." Yan Lie muttered, his eyes fixed on the display.
Even Bai Wanwan, who was born in Modern Times and was well-traveled, was shocked by it.
Those marine creatures felt as if they were right before her eyes, within reach.
It brought not only a visual impact but also a spiritual shock.
It made one feel like a mere drop in the ocean, incredibly insignificant.
However, this wondrous sight did not last long.
Several merfolk seemed to be physically exhausted, panting slightly and staggering a few steps.
The vanishing images left the audience with a sense of regret.
Jiao Yin walked back to her side step by step, staring at her face with a faint smile.
"If you like it, you can keep them to perform for you often."
Before Bai Wanwan could speak, Qiu Rong stared at Jiao Yin and said, "These merfolk already have owners. If Wan Wan wants to watch, I will find masterless merfolk for her."
"No need," Bai Wanwan declined with a light smile. "Wouldn't it be better to see it with our own eyes when we go to the seaside in the future?"
Once she accumulated enough points, increased the strength of her Beast Husbands and Cubs, and equipped them with Firearms... where in this vast world could she not go?
"Send them back." Qiu Rong waved his hand, his gaze moving away from Jiao Yin's face.
The stunning Female held back her voice, but as she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back, tears welling in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
But Jiao Yin, standing next to Bai Wanwan, seemed not to notice, his gaze already turned elsewhere.
However, from that day on, Bai Wanwan discovered that Luo Qing had changed.
He no longer spent all day soaking in the water, but instead often accompanied the Cubs to play and tell stories.
Approaching childbirth, Bai Wanwan designed blueprints for a new house at home every day, and she could always see Luo Qing's figure patiently accompanying the Cubs in the courtyard.
On that face, which rarely showed expression in the past, a gentle smile now often hung.
"peanut, what do you think he's after by controlling me?"
Two days ago, she sensed something was wrong and asked peanut. After peanut scanned her, it confirmed abnormal fluctuations in her brainwaves; clearly, someone had tampered with her.
Without much thought, she guessed it was the merman.
Bai Wanwan caressed her pregnant belly and pondered, "He has been unusually quiet these past few days, with no further actions except for that 'Water Curtain performance'."
"The system cannot analyze beastman thoughts."
While she was thinking, the merman looked up.
Her figure was clearly reflected in those blue crystal-like eyes.
"You're here..." His gaze fell on her bulging abdomen. "You're about to give birth, right?"
"It should be in the next day or two." Bai Wanwan examined his expression. "You seem very happy?"
"Yes, thinking of some happy things. Thank you for taking me in during this time, I... should take my leave."
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Beast Pet Merchants again?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Before her voice finished, Qiu Rong and Zhu Xiu entered in a single file, leading the Tiger Clan Males.
Zhu Xiu stepped forward quickly, shielding Bai Wanwan behind him.
"What happened?"
Qiu Rong looked at her and protected her as they retreated. "It's been cleared up. That day, the Males collectively lost control; their minds were all being manipulated."
Jiao Yin's eyes flickered slightly as he waited for what came next.
Qiu Rong's gaze shifted from Bai Wanwan to him. "Your strength is far beyond the Green Tier. A Royal Merman actually disguised himself as an ordinary Male to approach my Consort?"
Jiao Yin subconsciously looked at Bai Wanwan, seeing her staring at him without saying a word.
She pursed her exceptionally beautiful lips.
"Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of hurting you..."
He manipulated those Males to attack, but in reality, only he was injured.
He only wanted her to lower her guard so he could better exert his Innate Ability.
Zhu Xiu swept a cold glance over Jiao Yin, walked to Qiu Rong's side, and pulled Bai Wanwan into his arms. "Go inside first."
But from behind came Jiao Yin's voice, "I'm sorry..."
Bai Wan paused her steps for a moment but ultimately did not look back: "You... just go."
As the door closed, her figure completely vanished from sight.
"Had enough of looking?" Qiu Rong emitted a terrifying pressure from his body and attacked before his voice even faded.
However, Jiao Yin's figure instantly vanished without a trace.
"Green Tier?" Qiu Rong stared at the empty ground and sneered. "Pursue!"
While personally leading the Tiger Clan elites to conduct a city-wide search, Qiu Rong did not know that Jiao Yin had already used these past few days to find out the whereabouts of his younger sister.
He had originally planned to go rescue her after a formal farewell, but he didn't expect a sudden turn of events.
If not for Bai Wanwan, he might never have found his only remaining relative in this world.
But his deception would likely leave a permanent shadow and hurt.
Jiao Yin's eyes dimmed...
